Architects of a New Dawn fills a great need at a crucial turning point in the human journey. Its arrival is timely as voices of positivity & hope search for rallying points, outlets and connections.<br />
My personal focus is on the aspirational aspects of life - Culture, science, spirituality etc…<br />
To me, these elements are what defines our humanity, unfortunately many of our human family are trapped in a lower `survival’ mindset - whether it be the hand to mouth struggles of the majority or the empty materialism of the affluent, we can do better….<br />
We are emerging from trying times.<br />
Spirituality, arguably the key to a meaningful life is openly derided, our culture is being devalued & marginalized and science has been undermined in many ways … These elements have moved from the center of many people’s lives, only to be replaced with fear & `learned defeat’<br />
If that is the darkness, we are the dawn….<br />
This is an extremely hopeful time… Global communications & the Internet have hastened the emergence of a truly global culture that has been evolving since the 1960s, building communities of the like-minded without geographical boundaries…<br />
Meanwhile science is overlapping with metaphysics and other disciplines once considered ancient or exotic…<br />
BUT…<br />
I believe the key battlefront of our time is not in some poverty stricken, distant land, but within ourselves, between our own higher & lower natures - which voices we choose to act upon will determine our future. After all, history shows us that empires rise & fall on hearts and minds as much as the size of Armies.<br />
Every great human endeavor has been built on a foundation of the efforts of countless generations… We owe it to the future to pass the best of our ideas and achievements on...<br />
And remember the enlightened not only have reality on their side but also excel at entertaining!<br />
A.o.a.N.D. can become a great conduit to convey ideas to a global community & be a significant part of the solution we are all collectively working on and contributing to…<br />
Its existence alone is encouraging… Thank you for creating it...<br />
